The CTB Terra Nova Standardized Test measures a student’s performance in Science, Spelling, Reading, Language, Mathematics, and Social Studies, relative to children in the U.S., in their own grade. The Terra Nova is reported through a variety of methods. The Quartile Report divides students into quartiles based on their percentile. The 50^th percentile is considered average, or on level.

Terra Nova Quartiles:

• 4^th Quartile: Those students who scored at the 75-99 percentile
• 3^rd Quartile: Those students who scored at the 50-75 percentile
• 2^nd Quartile: Those students who scored at the 25-49 percentile
• 1^st Quartile: Those students who scored below the 25 percentile

• In 2011, 92.8% of St. Agnes students scored in the Top Quartile (3^rd and 4^th Quartiles)
• More than half of St. Agnes students (63.6%) scored in the 4^th Quartile!
• 29.7% of our students scored in the 3^rd Quartile.
• Only 7.2% were in the 2^nd Quartile.
• No students scored in the 1^st Quartile.

St. Agnes School is very proud of these fabulous results!

Feeder School to Charleston Catholic High School: Upon completing the 5^th Grade, the majority of St. Agnes graduates enroll in Charleston Catholic High School, or the county school of their choice. We have a very high rate of acceptance at Charleston Catholic and former students and parents often comment on how well prepared they are for middle school, whether their choice be private or public.
